You'll learn the principle behind the project, then apply it to real assets for your own business: a sales page, a lead magnet, a buyer journey map, an email newsletter, a bonus suite, a collaboration event. Deliverables you'll use & reuse.

Research-backed, not recycled advice
These Studios are built on peer-reviewed studies from consumer psychology, visual communication, or digital marketing behaviour — academic data translated into strategy & design you can immediately implement.
Design you make, not just learn about
We take a project-based approach, so each Studio pairs a 90-minute live demo session with matching Canva pro templates, so you leave with real marketing assets improved or underway.
Yours to shape
Take a single studio, choose any three, or join for the full season. Attend live on Tuesday or Thursday (or both!), and keep every replay.
Created for those who take design seriously and want marketing that impresses, informs, delights, & delivers.

FAQs
Do I need to already have an offer?
Some studios are easiest to apply with an offer or asset in mind. Others work just as well for shaping an idea or developing something still in progress — come with whatever stage you're at.
Do I need to attend live?
Replays are included with every studio, so you can watch later or revisit the teaching whenever you're ready to do the work. The live sessions are a helpful way to create momentum and make progress during the week.
Do I need Canva Pro?
Canva Pro is strongly recommended. The studios come with Canva Pro templates for creating polished marketing assets in Canva. Pro gives you more flexibility with templates, brand assets, and images.
Do I need to be good at design?
These studios are built for solopreneurs who want to make better visual decisions in their own marketing. You'll be guided to think more strategically about clarity, hierarchy, imagery, and trust cues — design experience is welcome but not assumed.
Is this only for people launching this summer?
The studios support launches, evergreen offers, email marketing, lead magnets, content planning, seasonal campaigns, and general marketing improvements — a launch is welcome but not required.
Will this help if I'm still early in business?
Yes — maybe especially. Clearer visual communication works at any audience size, and it helps your marketing feel more credible and coherent while you're still building visibility.
Are the Tuesday and Thursday sessions different?
They cover the same material. Each weekly studio is offered twice so you can attend whichever time works best for you.
What are Study Hall and Office Hours?
Study Hall is a weekly co-working session for pass holders. Office Hours is a weekly drop-in for questions and feedback. Both are included with the Summer Pass (exclusively).
